"'It is not good to talk about Zen, because Zen is nothingness… If you talk about it, you are always lying, and if you don’t talk about it, no one knows it is there."

@bodhidave @EgyptianAphorist @mcmullin @clarablackink @histodons
Mathematics and #art are human activities, and in a #mathematics paper
(on #conic sections, the #conics, in particular, and described in the
linked blog post), I was pleased to have reason to quote what
Robert Pirsig said about teaching #writing. I commented,> What #Pirsig wanted, as an English teacher, was for students to learn
> to write what *they* wanted. In the end, this would be what everybody
> else wanted, which was *quality.*But there's a difference:
> In mathematics, an essential part of #quality is *truth,* or
> *correctness* if you prefer. We take this to be universal.Not everybody may agree on what is good art, but I think they should
agree on what is correct mathematics.https://polytropy.com/2020/08/05/an-exercise-in-analytic-geometry/

The #Bible suggests that even God cannot know.
